Founded in Belgium in 1829, DELVAUX is celebrating its 190th anniversary by launching the intriguing Magritte Collection and hosting a special exhibition in the atrium of BELLAVITA Plaza.

Each piece in the collection is inspired by the classics of René Magritte, radiating a strong surrealist spirit with surprising visual illusions and humorous details, paying sincere tribute to one of Belgium’s greatest artists.

Victory
Upon reaching the gate between land and sea, the passage to heaven and earth opens. But in reality, such a place could not possibly have an isolated door; this door doesn’t actually lead anywhere. The central idea of Magritte’s work is to convey the artistic concept that seeing is not believing—what the viewer sees is not real, but what they feel is.

The House of Silent Listening
The original painting depicts a room by the sea, filled entirely with a giant green apple, with sunlight from the window casting a crescent-shaped shadow on the side of the apple. But is the apple unimaginably large, or is the room actually a miniature dollhouse? Magritte excels at incorporating such visual illusions into his works, prompting viewers to think freely, imagine, and question.

The Treachery of Images
The original painting shows a pipe with the French text “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” (This is not a pipe) written beneath it. Yet viewers tend to imagine the pipe in the painting as a real one, even though the text tells them it is not. Magritte clearly aimed to challenge conventional perceptions of imagery. Perhaps he felt the world was too mired in mistaken beliefs, hence declaring “This is not a pipe”—the pipe in the image could be anything, but definitely not a pipe.
